Zombieland Title Sequence Analysis

This is the opening titles for Zombieland and it is very eye catching. It is full of quick camera movements to attract the audiences eye. From the start you can tell its going to be a gory film, and slightly comical by the way it is in slow motion. The typograophy also suggests that it is going to be very gory. The man gets thrown throwh the words as if it was some sort of window, which  further emphasises that it is going to be a very grim film. It sets the mood of the film and the audience is automatically shocked because of how graffic and bloody the film is just at the titles, so they know its not necissarily going to be a nice film.

The slow motion is of course to show that it will be a film with a lot of action, but it is also used for a comic affect. The slow motion is actually overused so that when we see the man throwing up his blood and guts, something that would not typically be slowed down in a serious film, we can see the humour in the title sequence and be prepared for a comical gross film.

I think this film is more aimed at the male audience. Males tend to like bloody, gory films were there is going to be plenty of action. Women obviously can watch it but I think that its main audience is males as women will be more cringed out by all the horror and grossness of it all.

The music in the title is very rocky and upbeat. The reason for this is that it raises the audiences heart rate and gets them excited for the start. It gets the audience pumped up for an action packed film which won't be for the people weak stomachs. The rock music gives the audience a shot of adrenaline from the start which will get them anticipating what will be happening in the film.

I suggest this film as it is comical and gory.
